ADMINISTRATION ADMITS: DRONES USED TO KILL FOUR AMERICANS

While President Barack Hussein Obama finally said several weeks ago, under intense mounting Congressional pressure, that he would not use drones to kill Americans overseas accused of terrorist acts, the Administration is now admitting to killing four:  (1) Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen; (2) Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike; (3) Mr. Awlaki’s son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who was also killed in Yemen; and (4)  Jude Mohammed, who was killed in a strike in Pakistan.

Our American Constitution is clear when it provides that any American must be afforded "due process" where justice is to be dealt; that was the substance of the uproar.  It is no accident that this news oozes out now, like a bad fart in the middle of a football crowd; with all of the scandals ongoing, and with the press not covering this issue at all, Obama hopes to escape responsibility for another in a much-too-long series of outright lies.  

He'll probably blame Bush.
